REVscene Automotive Forum - new class at ashcroft for street&doorslammers

This year we will again be trying something different. We will be running the CPSA Open Comp class at three races. The following are the rules for the class,

CPSA Racing Open Comp Rules

Class Description:
This class was designed for all vehicles and trucks that run slower than 7.50 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Dragsters, Alters & Motorcycles are not permitted. The "Open Comp" class will be run on an Open Comp format with a 1-tenth (1/10th) breakout. What this means is, you get 3 rounds of qualifying. You take 1/10th off your quickest time and that is your automatic dial-in for eliminations. This time will be yours throughout eliminations (it does not change). The best reaction time is the #1 qualifier, you will then be put on a Sportsman ladder for eliminations. There is basically no rules in this class, so come out and have some fun.
